Education, growth and income inequality

Teulings, Coen N.; Rens, Thijs van - 2002

When types of workers are imperfect substitutes, the Mincerian rate of return to human capital is negatively related to the supply of human capital. We work out a simple model for the joint evolution of output and wage dispersion. We estimate this model using cross-country panel data on GDP and...

Threshold effects and regional economic growth e Evidence from West Germany

Funke, Michael; Niebuhr, Annekatrin - 2002

We study an overlapping generations model of human capital accumulation with threshold effects using regional data for West Germany. Our basic goal is to shed light on what makes German regions grow. The paper finds that the relative income distribution appears to be stratifying into a trimodal...
